Studied by 3 people
Biotic potential
________: max ideal reproductive rate of a population (measurement of growth capacity in populations)
generalist species
thrive in dynamic environments; can adapt well (broad niche)
specialist species
thrive in stable environments; easily struggle or succumb to changes in habitat (narrow niche)
K-selected species
large, quality > quantity in offspring, long life spans, late maturation can reproduce multiple times, specialists
r-selected species
small, quantity > quality in offspring, early maturation, reproduce only once, generalists
